DePaul is launching the first-ever Blue Demon Vaccine Contest for students who submit their completed COVID-19 vaccine records or proper documentation for an exemption by
Thursday, Aug. 19, at 11:59 p.m. CT. Students who will live in a DePaul residence hall must submit vaccination documentation to Campus Connect by July 30 or an extension request to
housing@depaul.edu.
Contest prizes include:
- Apple AirPods Pro ($250)
- $500 gift card to Barnes & Noble Bookstore
- Wintrust Arena suite for the winner and up to five friends to attend a men's or women's basketball game ($1,000)
- $2,500 grant toward the cost of attendance
All students who submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination (both doses of the two-dose vaccines or a single dose of a one-dose vaccine) or proper documentation for an immunization exemption by Aug. 19 will be automatically entered. If you've already submitted your documentation, you're already entered!
You can check your immunization status and/or complete your vaccine requirements
through Campus Connect. Visit the
Immunization Requirements website for more information and instructions on how to submit your documentation.
On Aug. 20, DePaul will select potential winners in random drawings from among all eligible entries received. Review the
full contest rules for more information.
Please keep in mind: In the spirit of caring for each other and for our surrounding community, DePaul will require students to be vaccinated for COVID-19 when the 2021-22 academic year begins. This requirement includes all undergraduate, graduate and professional students in all degree programs starting in the Fall 2021 term.
